Swimming Studies by Leanne Shapton

3.0

As someone who has recently taken up swimming for exercise, I was very excited to read Swimming Studies as it had gotten some good reviews. Written by a Canadian swimmer who competed in the Olympic Trials it shows the life of a swimmer but does so in a very rambling artistic way. Therein lies the problem for me, I need more of a straightforward narrative instead of short snippets from random points of time that don't seem to connect in any obvious way.
